Are ther any Gyms/ Health clubs in the Chicagoland area that dont hire based on looks?

Question

I'm a personal trainer in my 30's. The job I have now isn't cutting it by itself, and I have applied at just about every place in the south Chicago suburbs. I have multiple certifications and a degree, but I cant seem to find any good work. It seems they only hire hot chicks, and musclehead guys, al under 25. Im not bad looking, just a little older than all the trainers I see at these places.

Wow.  I was shocked at reading this

with all your certifications and all...

but I guess I really shouldn't be.  

Who interviews you when you apply?

Some bimbo?  Maybe try and speak

with an owner or manager instead??!!

Also, have you thought about

working for yourself!!  

Doing private personal training instead

of in a gym.  You'd probably make more

money and get paid cash.

Maybe run an ad in the Chicago Reader.

They're usually pretty good at getting responses.

Either to go private or...for a job at a gym.

Good luck.
